Skill Design
Overpower is a powerful area of effect ability that needs a moderate critical hit chance to be effective. The available rune effects make this skill very interesting. Dual-wielding two very fast weapons and having a godly amount of critical strike chance might make you unstoppable with the Obisidan rune effect, healing you every time Overpower is used.
Synergies

Development
